It's a problem of gdm (very silly). ISPConfig's setup procedure puts two lines into /etc/shells /bin/false and /SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/ AND forgets to put a new line character at the end... Because of the bug(?) in GDM it can't process it anymore. Solution: Open the file /etc/shells and put a new line at the end of the last line and gdm will start again correctly.

ISPConfig’s setup procedure puts two lines into /etc/shells
/bin/false and
/SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/

AND forgets to put a new line character at the end…

Solution:
Open the file /etc/shells and put a new line at the end of the last line and gdm will start again correctly.
